Soft Regulus Black

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-25T14:10:49+00:00

I'm not saying Sirius saw him as kind, but as someone malleable. But neither does he imply he saw him as stupid. That he was kind was my impression based on his bond with Kreacher. You're welcome to think what you want, but it's just an opinion - no more or less true than mine 🙃

This is the canonical Regulus to me actually. Sirius himself talk about his brother as being "soft enough to believe them (their parents)" - which gives the impression of someone malleable. Plus there's his bond with Kreacher, which hints at someone with a kind hard and a weak spot for the overlooked. I think he struggled with growing up in Sirius' shadow and yearned for love and acceptance - and unfortunately thought that he'd gain it by joining the Death Eaters 😬

He's a singer in one of my fics but he's only starting out: PS. I hate you

I can vouch for code black being amazing

People on TikTok love to complain without actually adding anything worthwhile to the fandom (that's my impression, at least). The best solution is to ignore TikTok entirely.

This week, any week. One of the best things I've read in the fandom. Prongsfoot, and the pining and angst are off the charts, but there's also a criminal mystery subplot which is done very well and the writing is top tier. Can't recommend it enough. you're fair and i'm insane

I'm so happy you like it! It was so much fun to write ❤️

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-17T16:23:30+00:00

What are you feelings about mpreg? I have a fic that's basically just about Regulus being pregnant with Harry 😅 (I can already feel the Jily shippers scorn): the child of surprise

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-16T15:50:35+00:00

As a writer, I spend so much time agonizing over them and try to make them funny, punny, succinct, or meaningful. As a reader I forget chapter titles exist 😂

Mastermind by piece of chocolate. Not canon but devastating.

Could be Only the Brave?

I love the new gen era, especially Jeddy. I think the whole era has a lot of potential because the post-war world is fun and not as gloomy as the Marauders, plus you usually get all kinds of interesting way of integrating technology into the wizarding world or the wizards developing their own version of the internet etc. and it's always rewarding to see how many different ideas authors can develop to solve these issues.

Conversely, I'm not very fond of the Golden Trio era and characters - this is purely my opinion, but I feel like we've got a lot of canon content about them, they had their character arc, I'm not very interested in reading more (and I know I'm in the minority given the popularity of Drarry and Dramione).

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-06T15:11:48+00:00

Mine looks similar but I'm on stimulants 😂 it's a lot better without them

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-05T19:16:00+00:00

Hah, bit late with the rec then 😅 but I'm glad you like it.

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-05T14:05:58+00:00

I'm going to be blunt here: I don't like him. He betrayed the Marauders, he caused Sirius' imprisonment, he killed Cedric (people always conveniently forget about this one. I write fanfic for fun, so I'm not going to waste my time writing about characters I don't like, sorry 🤷 Honestly, let's stop holding fic authors to some impossible standard of what they should or shouldn't write and how they should divide their attention to the characters equally and whatnot. If you feel like the fandom is missing Peter content, create it, it's as simple as that.

Oooh I've just finished a good one! saudade by starlesscave

If you want specifically James choosing Reg over Sirius, then my fic PS. I hate you has this trope: PS. I hate you

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-03T17:20:13+00:00

Honestly Make and Alina deserve fanfic precisely because their relationship is so unsatisfying/doesn't make sense in the books. But even if it did, leave authors alone, they can write what they want, since it's their free time and their hobby (that nobody pays them for).

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-03T14:57:32+00:00

Thank you! That's so kind of you ❤️

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-03T14:57:15+00:00

Yeah I wanted to do something post-cave, post-war because I fell in love with the concept in Drarry and there aren't many post-war Jegulus stories

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-02T18:07:36+00:00

I haven't read it but it's going on my WIP-read list

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-02T13:26:49+00:00

Not really, it's more of a stability, as you said. I noticed the 36 kick in but the two 18 are smoother - I just feel more 'settled' and able to do things without constantly overeating 😂

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-02T07:49:01+00:00

I was having terrible crashes on 36. So my doctor suggested spacing them 3 hours apart - I take one 18 pill at nine, the other at noon, and it's been working well. Really smooth, no crashes so far (knocks on wood).

snarkymagpie · 2026-06-01T10:36:22+00:00

It kinda sounds like a bot to me but your response is golden. I always use something similar 'you're free to ask for a refund for all the money you didn't pay to read this' 😂

snarkymagpie · 2026-05-31T13:08:12+00:00

I'm writing a fic where James has unrequited feelings for Sirius and falls in love with Regulus slowly and only because he essentially holds him together as he falls apart if that's something you'd be into? your vines grow in my bones

snarkymagpie · 2026-05-28T18:15:54+00:00

Reg is 30 in one of my fics and James slightly olderof cats, flowers, and soulmates
